Have a Good Yule!

Yes I celebrate Yule and do not sanction the Christians (by calling it "christmas") and their thieving ways in which they tried to eliminate the northern heathen celebration of the Winter Solstice nor their destruction of the Roman Saturnalia celebration. December 25th is not the birthday of Jesus, but of Mithra. The Christians failed to root out other religious practices by the force of arms and the threat of violence sanctioned by legisliation and laws forbidding competitive religious practices so they tried to give new meaning to old practices and that is the vicious origins of "Christmas". So if your a christian and you absolutely have to celebrate Jesus, do it sometime in August and leave the winter solstice alone.

More on the meaning of Yule and the winter Solstice in Scandinavia in the Viking Age can be found here! (It's written in Norwegian). (English summary here!)
